Hello, PEEPOLE! Sorry about canceling OKABOS! I didn't feel like I could really do what I wanted to do with that series. Anyway, this is going to be a collection of drabbles about Terraria. I've been playing it recently with my brother. These oneshots/drabbles will,maybe, be connected (if I feel that it fits). This takes place in an AU/Past of the game where most of the characters are in college. Some of them (The Merchant, Goblin Tinkerer,
Clothier, Ect.) will be teachers, while the rest (The Guide, My OC, The Gunsmith/Gun Merchant, The Nurse, The Mechanic, Ect.) will be students. Hope you enjoy!
The Tinkerer's Hopes and Dreams
The Goblin Tinkerer, or, as the students called him, "Mr. Tinker," sat at his desk in his empty classroom. He taught a robotics/engineering class at Terraria University.
The pay was decent (1 gold 60 silver a week), the students were very respectful (except Brian [The Gunsmith]), and he liked the chance to share his knowledge of machines.
The Tinkerer had created many different machines including, but not limited to: a machine that could turn silt and other similar materials into valuable minerals, a machine that could combine two to three helpful items into an item that could do both, and many other inventions. But he had never quite found felt that he had accomplished enough. He needed to figure out what his greatest invention would be.
All of the sudden, out of his window, he saw a soda bottle rocket shoot off into the sky.
That's it! He thought. Something rocket-propelled. But what could be helpful to people?
Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted his old pair of boots sitting by the door.
Rocket boots!
The bell rung, signaling that the teachers could leave. Just in time!
The Tinkerer rushed out of the room and into the room of Barney the Merchant, the teacher of world-trade, a profession that only one person attended, Brian, and only because he wanted to be a gun merchant.
"Barney!" Mr. Tinker exclaimed as he ran into the dusty classroom, "I just had the best idea!"
Barney looked at the other teacher as he scratched his beard and sighed, "Don't you always seem to have a 'great idea?' What is it this time?"
"Well, it's…um….rocket-propelled boots. Ya know, that you can fly with…"
Barney started cracking up at this crazy idea his friend just suggested.
"Oh my god! That's your "great idea?" Flying shoes?! Really?!" The merchant exclaimed as he started gasping for air because he was laughing so much.
The Tinkerer stormed furiously from the room and out of the building, past the front desk. He didn't even bother clocking out.
Oh I'll show them! I'll show them all!
End
This was my explanation for how the Goblin Tinkerer decided to create rocket boots. Hope you enjoyed! I'll make another on soon!
